Unless you consider his ridiculous grubber kicks a positive.

Well it must have been a pre-thought thing and they dropped their first 5 efforts with the ball and our only completed sets in the first 10 were when we kicked early so handling was clearly very tough.

For me Bengi dogged it tonight i don't know if he is still sick or what he did nothing,and as far as teddy goes don't blame him blame the same boofhead that gave away two penalties on the 5th tackle.We need some grunt up front i said it before Anasta and Fulton are to light and tonight proved it to me they got smashed. Sorry to say we do need change for one Thompson.

marshalls defence all year has been crap and his attack well lets just say there is no ATTACK, he and miller do the same thing crap across field and turn a poor forward into a waiting committee, to get smashed. now this is where the coach comes into this how to hell can he not see what is going on and why is there no sign of it changing.
sorry to say this but its time for benji to follow mr sheens.

Couldn,t agree more, benji the movie star should be shown the door ASAP. Hasn,t had a decent game since he joined the footy show. Maybe a big pin inserted into his cranium might improve his arrogant self centred attitude.

Both Marshall and Farah were very flat in attack and that spells certain defeat when that happens. At least Robbie made up for it in defence. Benji influenced the outcome again...in a negative sense. He was missing in action most of the night, put in some ridiculous kicks and missed the goal that could have given some reward for all that time in possession within the Manly 20m line. All up, they played like they didn't think we could win it.

Good points but imo this is an important area where Potter can show his ability as a coach and stamp his mark. Benji has not played well when it counts if Potter can work on this and turn him around it will be a major achievement.

Again Marshall bashing Jesus, yes drop the best rated half statistically last year and the one ranked #2 on kpi stats this year. Some of you are brain dead. You would probably drop thurston to after his last 2 games
